Journal ArticleDOI
Inhibition of heme oxygenase-1 by zinc protoporphyrin IX reduces tumor growth of LL/2 lung cancer in C57BL mice.
TL;DR: In contrast, CoPPIX treatment increased HO‐1 expression, enhanced tumorigenicity and MVD and reduced apoptosis, whereas cobalt PPIX (CoPPIX), an HO‐ 1 activator, increased both.
Journal ArticleDOI
Long-term prognosis of patients undergoing radiofrequency catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation: comparison between heart failure subtypes based on left ventricular ejection fraction.
Hajime Fujimoto,Naofumi Doi,Satoshi Okayama,Masaki Naito,Atsushi Kobori,Kazuaki Kaitani,Koichi Inoue,Toshiya Kurotobi,Itsuro Morishima,Hirosuke Yamaji,Yumie Matsui,Yuko Nakazawa,Kengo Kusano,Kaeko Hirai,Takehito Nakai,Megumi Suzuki,Hiroki Yano,Satoshi Sakai,Takeshi Kimura,Satoshi Shizuta,Yoshihiko Saito +20 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared the long-term prognosis of heart failure patients undergoing radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) for atrial fibrillation (AF).
Journal ArticleDOI
Incidence and Clinical Significance of 30-Day and 90-Day Rehospitalization for Heart Failure Among Patients With Acute Decompensated Heart Failure in Japan ― From the NARA-HF Study ―
Satomi Ishihara,Rika Kawakami,Maki Nogi,Kaeko Hirai,Yukihiro Hashimoto,Yasuki Nakada,Hitoshi Nakagawa,Tomoya Ueda,Taku Nishida,Kenji Onoue,Tsunenari Soeda,Satoshi Okayama,Makoto Watanabe,Yoshihiko Saito +13 more
TL;DR: The incidence of early re-HHF was lower in Japan than in Western countries and Japan, and its predictors are not related to the clinical factors of HF, indicating that a new comprehensive approach might be needed to preventEarly re- HHF.
Journal ArticleDOI
Low Insulin Is an Independent Predictor of All‐Cause and Cardiovascular Death in Acute Decompensated Heart Failure Patients Without Diabetes Mellitus
Maki Nogi,Rika Kawakami,Satomi Ishihara,Kaeko Hirai,Yasuki Nakada,Hitoshi Nakagawa,Tomoya Ueda,Taku Nishida,Kenji Onoue,Tsunenari Soeda,Satoshi Okayama,Makoto Watanabe,Yoshihiko Saito +12 more
TL;DR: Low serum insulin levels were associated with increased risk of all‐cause and cardiovascular death in ADHF patients without diabetes mellitus.
Journal ArticleDOI

Taku Nishida,Akihiro Takitsume,Junichi Sugiura,Ayaka Keshi,Koshiro Kanaoka,Kaeko Hirai,Hiroki Yano,Yukihiro Hashimoto,Tomoya Ueda,Hitoshi Nakagawa,Kenji Onoue,Tsunenari Soeda,Makoto Watanabe,Rika Kawakami,Yoshihiko Saito +14 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe a series of patients with non-pulmonary vein (PV) trigger sites provoked by an ATP injection, and assess the feasibility of a ganglionated plexus (GP) ablation.
